The Apache HTTP server is one of the most popular web servers on the
|
|
Internet.

|
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Apache:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Dustin Kirkland reported that the mod_ssl module can leak memory when
|
|
the client reports support for a compression algorithm (CVE-2008-1678).
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Ryujiro Shibuya reported that the ap_proxy_http_process_response()
|
|
function in the mod_proxy module does not limit the number of forwarded
|
|
interim responses (CVE-2008-2364).
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
sp3x of SecurityReason reported a Cross-Site Request Forgery
|
|
vulnerability in the balancer-manager in the mod_proxy_balancer module
|
|
(CVE-2007-6420).
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</description>
|
|
<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
A remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by connecting to
|
|
an Apache httpd, by causing an Apache proxy server to connect to a
|
|
malicious server, or by enticing a balancer administrator to connect to
|
|
a specially-crafted URL, resulting in a Denial of Service of the Apache
|
|
daemon.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All Apache users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-servers/apache-2.2.9"</code>
|
|
</resolution>
